AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions. 
DC only flows in one direction and is constant. 

AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.

DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.

Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
alexdok [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

The gravitational force law, deduced by Newton in the 1660's, is remarkably similar to Coulomb's law. Recall that the universal
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a.F=7.83\times 10^{-51} N

b.Attractive

Explanation:

We are given that

F=\frac{GM_1M_2}{R^2}

G=6.67\times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2

Mass of an electron,M_1=9.11\times 10^{-31} kg

Mass of proton,M_2=1836\times 9.11\times 10^{-31} kg

Distance between electron and proton,R=3.602nm=3.602\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

a.Substitute the values then  we get

F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1836\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}}{(3.602\times 10^{-9})^2}

F=7.83\times 10^{-51} N

b.We know that like charges repel to each other and unlike charges attract to each other.

Proton and electron are unlike charges therefore, the force between proton and electron is attractive.

2. A woman prevents a 3kg brick from falling by pressing it against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction
Anettt [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of the brick as 3 kg
  • The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

  • We need to importantly note that;
  • For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
  • That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

      F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
